Buyer’s notes

About the Triumph TR4A IRS

The TR4A of 1965 gave the TR independent rear suspension, with semi-trailing arms and coil springs. For the US market Triumph also built it with the TR4’s live axle, so IRS cars carry commissioning numbers beginning CTC. About 28,500 TR4As were built to 1967, most of them with IRS.

What moves the price

  • Rear suspension: an IRS car, confirmed by its commissioning number, against a live-axle car.
  • Chassis condition: rust and repairs around the rear suspension mountings.
  • Originality and history.

Before you buy, check

  • The chassis all round the rear suspension and differential mountings, the outriggers, the front crossmember and the engine and gearbox mounts.
  • Sagging sills or chassis members, which show as uneven panel gaps, and corrosion behind the arch lips.
  • The commissioning number for IRS (CTC) against the car, and water leaks and damp carpets.
